I upgraded my Drupal 7 site to Drupal 8. I figured out how to promote my recent content to the front page, but now all my Article pages are appearing out of order because I made the mistake of using SAVE CONTENT on these old Articles that I brought over from the Drupal 7 site. There is no option in the Content menu to list the articles by their original post date, not the new updated date, which is today.
The articles themselves show on the home page with the correct original "Submitted by..." date on them. So it knows when they were originally posted. I just can't figure out how to ask Drupal to sort content using that information.
Is there a way to organize the content by another facet besides "Title / Content type / Author / Status / Updated"? Is there a module that can do it?
Or do I really have to figure out which ones were first and then re-save them in order or redo the entire upgrade installation to fix this?
Doing SAVE CONTENT on so many articles was probably a mistake, but I needed to fix up some old posts regardless. I don't want old news from 2011 floating up to the top just because I had to fix a dead link!

Whilst I do not have a D8
Whilst I do not have a D8 installation in front of me, I think if you go to the front page View, in the sort section, you should be able override the View so as to sort by 'created' date rather than by 'updated' date.

OK... Great, thanks! I looks for something similar to that and found it! :D
Structure --> Views --> Frontpage, Edit -- > Sort criteria, put "Content: Authored on (desc)" on top of list
